Pleased, proud as punch and excited to announce a military horror story of mine called Ragnarok will be published in an anthology book in December. SNAFU: Resurrection from Cohesion Press is available to pre-order now via the links below. The perfect Christmas gift for any truly twisted friend or family member!
Congratulations! I read a lot of books. Love love books. In fact, I wish my English was better because books are really where my heart is. Just like with scripts too, I LOVE the shorts. Easy to read twenty pages in one sitting, so they are perfect for me. I will check it out.
Big reader across the board here too. Can you tell us a bit more about your particular story? I went to one link and was hoping for a 'peek inside'. No such luck.

Back at the turn of the century (before I even read a screenplay, never mind considered writing one), I used to write short stories. As the world was about to end via the Y2K bug, I slipped into an Edgar Allen Poe Cthulhu Mythos inspired phase and attempted to write a modern day version. Featuring a special forces unit sent into an old mansion after several police officers go missing, Ragnarok was my take on a supernatural extinction event. Well, the beginning of the end anyway.
It stayed on my PC for years. I have occasionally submitted it, but it was always rejected. Then, about a year ago I saw a publisher requesting military horror submissions. I dug Ragnarok out, screamed at how horrible it was (both in how it was written and how dated it had become) gave it a re-write and sent it off. Didn’t hear anything for months, then got asked for some format fixes as I failed to read the submission rules properly. I figured I’d messed up my chances by this mistake, but re-submitted anyway and forgot about it. A week ago they got in touch, said it had been accepted and gave me a contract to sign.

Thanks for sharing, Mark. It just reinforces my thinking that everything you write comes out well. I have to make sure I don't loose it to read it someday. Congrats. And happy writing!
